When Fabulosity first came out, I didn't give it a second thought. I had heard of Kimora Lee Simmons, of course, but only thought of her as Russell Simmon's trophy wife. Then one day I accidentally watched an episode of her reality show, Life in the Fab Lane. I was too lazy to change the channel or something, I don't know. But I kept watching. I started tuning in. I found myself becoming a fan.

Say what you will about her - she's over the top, she's obnoxious, etc. - but she's not any body's trophy wife. I became addicted to her show because it showed how strong and independent she is. How ambitious she is. And, yes, how FABULOUS she lives her life. She does her own thang. She makes her own money. Her hustle inspired me. So I put her book on my birthday wish list last November and my son bought it for me.

Due to a large stack of books on my nightstand waiting to be read, I just started reading Fabulosity this week. I'm barely on the second chapter and I already love it. Yeah, it's a little bit self-help-motivational-speaker-ish which I know is not every one's cup of tea, but I like how it's a little ghetto fabulous to offset the cheese factor. I originally thought this book was going to be about fashion and appearances, and there is some of that in there. But, what I've read so far seems to be more about chasing dreams.

A quote from the book:

"Letting the mind see clearly what the heart really wants often prompts the right choices and manifests the right outcome. Take some time and play a few scenes in your head of the life you want - the details are what gives it shape."

I am a huge believer in dreaming big. I love imagining my dreams coming true. And visualizing them in detail makes them feel more real, more obtainable. I see it all so clearly. It's only a matter of time before they're a reality.

So pick up this book and get your dreams on, ya'll.
